  PART 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Rf3QTJ2LDK8Uhp9MiqaNP?si=Nggc6OMpQOqQe2a9lz-5bQ&utm_source=copy-link=============================================In December 2022, police arrested a twenty-eight-year-old criminology PhD student for the murders of four University of Idaho students.Charging him was one thing. Convicting him was going to be another. What followed was two and a half years of legal warfare. The state wanted the death penalty. And Bryan Kohberger, was going to make them work for every inch of it.He fought the DNA. He fought the phone records. He fought the car, the eyewitness, the indictment itself. He fought to move the trial three hundred miles. He fought to have the death penalty ruled unconstitutional in his case.But everything was Denied.By the summer of 2025, he was out of arguments, out of appeals, and weeks away from a trial that could have ended with him in front of a firing squad.And then, with almost no warning, he told an Ada County courtroom.This is the full legal journey of Bryan Kohberger. Every motion, every ruling, the deal that stopped the trial, and the four families who had to sit and listen to it.And then, in July 2026, from a maximum security prison, he surprised everyone once again.He said he wanted to take it all back. That he had been lied to. That he was innocent.So how does a man confess to four murders, and then, a year later, say he never did it?And will Bryan Kohberger get the trial he now says he wants?=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com=============================================📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ht1nWObTQDXejYpIIvTY01fb3f7afnJa/view?usp=share_link

  Who Brutally Murdered Michelle Leng? 21.07.2026 36min

  On the morning of Sunday 24 April 2016, a group of tourists were exploring the rugged coastline of the Munmorah State Conservation Area on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, when something caught their attention below the lookout at Snapper Point.As the powerful surf surged through the blowhole, the object repeatedly surfaced before disappearing beneath the white foam. At first, they couldn’t tell what they were looking at. Then it rolled over, and the horrifying truth became unmistakable. It was the naked body of a young woman, floating face down as the waves dragged her violently across the jagged rocks.Police were called immediately, and a dangerous recovery operation began along the slippery coastline. A rescue helicopter went down to retrieve the body. Detectives quickly ruled out any possibility of an accident. The young woman had been stabbed almost 40 times, with the fatal wound to her throat. They believed she had been deliberately left there, not carried in by the sea.She had no identification, no phone, no bag, and nothing to reveal who she was or how she had ended up on a stretch of coastline.It would take homicide detectives days just to learn her name and to find out who had murdered her.And when they finally did, the answer was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com=============================================📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13sl8HgJyPmexcuUXWkemOjJ4RXOdMLdO/view?usp=share_link

  Did Kelly Gissendaner Deserve To Die? 23.06.2026 1u 32min

  On the morning of February 8th, 1997, Kelly Gissendaner began making frantic phone calls from her home in Auburn, Georgia.Her husband, thirty-year-old Douglas Gissendaner, had never come home the night before.At first, the possibilities seemed endless.Maybe his car had broken down. Maybe he had been involved in an accident. Maybe he was lying injured somewhere, unable to get help.But thirty-six hours later, deep in the woods of Gwinnett County, investigators discovered a burned-out vehicle. The car belonged to Douglas.Then, less than two weeks later, Douglas Gissendaner’s body was found face down in the dirt, still on his knees.He had been kidnapped, driven to a remote stretch of road, and brutally stabbed to death.Initially, investigators believed it may have been a robbery gone wrong.But as police began digging deeper into Douglas’s marriage, they uncovered a months-long affair, dozens upon dozens of secret phone calls, a carefully constructed alibi, and what prosecutors would later describe as a cold, calculated, and meticulously planned murder plot.And at the centre of it all… was Douglas’s own wife.=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com=============================================📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zZ_wUbLyVHqbuA9J2CXHsNRPb7V8dpTB/view?usp=share_link

  Taylor Parker: The Monster Who Stole a Baby 10.06.2026 2u 30min

  On the morning of October 9th, 2020, a Texas state trooper spotted a woman driving erratically, close to the Texas–Oklahoma border.When the trooper pulled the vehicle over, the driver was frantic. She was screaming for help, claiming she had just given birth on the side of the road. Sitting in her lap was a newborn baby girl who wasn't breathing. The baby's umbilical cord was still attached, and blood covered the woman's clothing. Everything about the scene suggested that she had only just given birth.An ambulance was called immediately, and both the woman and the infant were rushed to a hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma.But once doctors began examining the woman, something didn't make sense. Despite her claims, there were no signs that she had recently given birth.As medical staff tried to understand what was happening, investigators began piecing together a far darker picture.Because around 70 miles away, in New Boston, Texas, 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock had been found dead inside her home. Reagan was 35 weeks pregnant when she was brutally attacked, and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn, had been cut from her body.The woman back at the hospital, claiming the baby was hers and that she had just given birth was Taylor Parker.This is the tragic case of Taylor Parker, and how her actions stole two innocent lives and shattered a community forever.=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com=============================================📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/143wiGM2ZGe18jHHObKxxg1QSRKPlb2kE/view?usp=share_link

  She Cut Off His Genitals & Walked Free 02.06.2026 29min

  In the early hours of March 11th, 2025, residents in a neighbourhood on the eastern edge of Belo Horizonte in Brazil, called the police after witnessing a woman and a young man, dragging what appeared to be a body into a nearby wooded area.When officers arrived, they found the remains of a man in a clearing. Partially burned. Mutilated. And with a trail of blood that led them away from the trees, back along the street, and straight to the front door of a house nearby. They knocked.At the door stood forty-two-year-old Erica Pereira da Silveira Vicente. She did not run. She did not deny what had happened. Instead, she handed police the knife and told them exactly what she had done. But then she told them why.And one year later, in a courtroom, seven jurors listened to the full story. They heard the evidence, heard Erica's confession, and heard what she said had happened before the killing. Then, they found her not guilty, and the next day she walked out of prison a free woman.This is the case of Erica Pereira da Silveira Vicente… and the question of how far a mother will go to protect her child.=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com=============================================📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yghACV7nKx6v1BiDrFiLVlg3Hi-zg8Ge/view?usp=share_link

What happened next, in the space of less than two minutes, would shock a community, and divide a nation.The car accelerated. And it kept accelerating.

Twenty year old Dominic Russo and nineteen year old Davion Flanagan were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver — seventeen year old Mackenzie Shirilla — survived.Had this been a tragic accident?

During the call, she could reportedly hear one of the children crying in the background.But there was no way she could make it there in time. Fearing the worst, she immediately called the Montgomery Police Department and begged officers to go to the house before it was too late.When police arrived in the early hours of February 6th, they discovered a devastating scene inside one of the bedrooms.Lying on a bed beside his three children was Quang Bui. Eight-year-old Phi. Seven-year-old Julie. And four-year-old April. All three children had been killed.But how had this family reached this point?

  He Murdered His Wife & Fled To His Boyfriend 11.05.2026 44min

  When a 999 call came in at 8:22pm on the evening of May 14, 2018, the man on the other end, his voice shaking, told the operator that he had just returned home to find his house had been broken into and his wife had been attacked.Inside, he said he had found her lying on the living room floor, bound in duct tape and unconscious, as the operator immediately began asking questions, trying to establish whether she was still breathing, who he was, and who his wife was.As Mitesh struggled to remove the duct tape from her body, his breathing became heavier and more panicked, and while the operator quickly called for an ambulance and assured him it was on its way, he also tried to keep him calm, continuing to gather information about what had happened inside the house and the condition his wife was in.But as the call went on, his performance intensified. He became increasingly breathless, at one point begging the operator to contact his father. The operator kept him talking, asking questions, gathering details. Mitesh obliged — painting a picture of their home life, their routine, his voice catching and breaking on cue.Eventually, he told the operator he had managed to remove the tape, continuing to repeat that someone had come into the house and tied her up, as the operator, sounding slightly uncertain, pressed him for more detail about how she had been found, prompting him to describe the scene in increasingly graphic detail.Towards the end of the call, with the ambulance now just moments away, Mitesh appeared to break down completely, sobbing and asking again for his father to be contacted, while the operator continued trying to reassure him, telling him help was almost there.But when paramedics arrived at the semi-detached Victorian house on The Avenue in Linthorpe, Middlesbrough, they found 34 year old Jessica Patel lying on the living room floor.Devastatingly, she was already dead. Why had he done this? Why had a man taken the life of his own wife in such a brutal, calculated way — a woman who had loved him, supported him, and spent years trying to give him the family she had always dreamed of?=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com=============================================📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AYJOCstdMj6HhLEEvVl0DiRW_vZun322/view?usp=sharing

  On July 10, 2022, just after 5 p.m., police were called to a home on the 800 block of Orange Avenue in Helena, Montana, after a man dialled 911 and told dispatchers he had just opened fire on people inside his own home, claiming they had been trying to attack him.Within moments, a second call came in from the same address, this time from another person inside, reporting that a woman had been shot.When officers arrived, they stepped into a scene that was already unravelling, with multiple people inside the property and clear signs of violence having just taken place.Seven people had been in the house at the time, four of them under the age of 18.Among them was eight-year-old Arianna Frankie Louise Valez.And her mother, Heather Hall.As first responders moved through the home, they found Arianna suffering from a gunshot wound to her back, having been struck as she tried to get away from the chaos unfolding around her, while Heather was also found injured nearby.Both were rushed for emergency medical treatment as officers worked to secure the scene and understand what had just happened inside that house.Because at that moment, all they had was a 911 call from a man claiming self-defence… and a home filled with victims.=============================================📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com
